Possible Causes

Faulty communication between main control and submodules (e.g., inverter, UI), damaged communication harness, control board failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing electronics.

Check communication wiring:

  • Remove the top cover and locate the harnesses linking the main control board to other modules (UI, inverter, sensor boards).
  • Reseat all multi-pin connectors and inspect for bent pins or corrosion.
  • Look for any pinched or damaged harnesses along their routing.
  • Perform a power reset and test again.
  • If F15 remains, one of the electronic modules is likely defective. Professional diagnostic tools are recommended to identify the faulty module.
